Stimulus aftereffects and the partial-reinforcement extinction effect.

Effect of intertrial reinforcement on the aftereffect of nonreinforcement and resistance to extinction.

“…The present results might be considered as quite unexpected in view of an experiment by Katz (1957). In that experiment, somewhat similar in design and conception to the present one, results were obtained which are in apparent disagreement with those reported here.…”

Partial reinforcement: A selective review of the literature since 1950.

“…Essentially the same idea is presented by Kendler, Pliskoff, D'Amato, and Katz (1957), except that no special properties, such as emotionality, are ascribed to the mediating response. Lewis and Duncan (1958b) also used a mediating response to interpret their data and show how some language behavior is related to it.…”

“…She found that both delay groups extinguished slower than groups without delay. And the delay-before-reward group extinguished slower than the delayafter-reward group, again counter to an aftereffects notion, Katz (1957) ran three groups of animals in a test of the aftereffects notion. The acquisition trials were given in two quite different runways.…”

Effect of goal box similarity on the after-effect of nonreinforcement and resistance to extinction.

“…The 2 ITR is merely one variety of an IRS. For example, Katz (1957) alternated trials in one runway with trials in another runway. Consistent reinforcement was given in Runway 1, partial reinforcement in Runway 2, and extinction training in Runway 2.…”
